Managed security services provider Solutionary has released an enhanced version of ActiveGuard, the company’s security and compliance platform.

Customers can now benefit from greater visibility into their IT environments, increased flexibility, and simplified vulnerability and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) management.

“Enterprises are under constant attack from advanced persistent threats (APTs), nation-states and bad actors, leaving them vulnerable to advanced threats and data breaches that inflict brand and financial damage,” noted Don Gray, chief security strategist at Solutionary.

“Since ActiveGuard monitored its first clients in 2000, we have continually enhanced the platform to protect clients 24/7 and to give them access to new tools, features and capabilities that keep them protected against an ever-changing threat landscape.”

The latest ActiveGuard release also comes with integrated reference lists which allow customers to incorporate their own data sources and specific requirements into the product’s security-event processing stream.

Furthermore, ActiveGuard also features an improved process control which makes PCI-compliant workflow faster and more efficient.

The portal interface has been redesigned to provide customers with improved usability and increased control. Customizable scanning and reporting are also available through the new interface.

As far as vulnerability lifecycle management is concerned, Solutionary clients can view, manage and remediate internal scan data through event statuses, proprietary scan-data perspectives and workflow dispositions.

ActiveGuard has been designed to collect data from any device that can produce a log file, including applications, endpoints, databases, firewalls, network devices and intrusion prevention systems.

This data, combined with contextual information on assets, vulnerabilities, IP geolocation and malicious hosts, enables organizations to detect advanced threats.

Additional information on the company’s managed security services is available on the Solutionary’s website.
